The Liebherr R 945 G8 wows customer in New Caledonia
YADAMWA, a New Caledonian customer, chose the powerful R 945 crawler excavator, which is ideal for particularly demanding open cast mining work.
The R 945 is perfectly suited to mining operations and meets all of our customer’s requirements.
- The R 945 sets the standard on performance and safety
- Perfectly meets this customer’s special requirements with its great flexibility and versatility
- The solid reputation of the Liebherr brand was a key factor in the purchase decision
The company is a subcontractor for SLN (“Société Le Nickel”), the world’s largest producer of ferronickel, and uses the Liebherr tracked excavator primarily for the extraction of metal ores such as iron and nickel.
In 2022, YADAMWA, a mining contractor based in New Caledonia, the South Pacific island group belonging to France, has purchased its first Liebherr machine. The first R 945 excavator has now been followed by an additional order for other Liebherr machines.
Maximum performance and safety in extraction
The working environment of a mining site is particularly demanding. The R 945 belongs to the generation 8 of Liebherr crawler excavators. The powerful 220 kW motor and automatic power adjustment make it a high-performance machine equally at home on all types of ground.
A robust machine at home on all terrains.
The glazed operator’s cab of the R 945 offers a panoramic view of the working area, whatever the working situation. The windows are tinted to optimally protect the operator from the effects of temperature and glare. The cab has also been adapted to the standards in force on site. So, for example, a HEPA filtration system – mandatory on all mining sites in New Caledonia – has been installed to prevent asbestos particles from getting into the cab.
Follow-up orders placed by YADAMWA: our customer was convinced by the quality and reliability
Last year, our customer from New Caledonia purchased its first Liebherr machine for earthmoving at its open cast mine as well as for loading dump trucks, areas in which YADAMWA specialises. The R 945 has since been followed by two other Liebherr models. In addition, the customer opted to buy a used PR 724 bulldozer, which is operated by one of its subsidiaries. YADAMWA particularly appreciates the quality and reliability of Liebherr machines, which set them apart from the competition.
